Deleted, sorry

I have here at my home a Thrustmaster Warthog Throttle, which I don´t use anymore (changed to a Virpil CM2). The issues are, that the thumb switch is disabled on mine, so you have to assamble your thumb switch into to get a full working one and I´m located in Germany. The shipping costs won´t be cheap and the delivery takes some time. But if you are interested write me a PM.

Cover song from 1984 of the 1970 original. Sadly it looses nothing of it´s message. I feel touched, nuff said.

S! I´m using Sheriff´s profile on IL-2 and DCS for 1,5 years now. Can´t complain. Track IR – Sheriff's Sim Shack (sheriffssimshack.com) P.S. surreptitious advertising not intended

F-4F Phantom II Bundeswehr - JG71 Richthofen - 1973 until 2013

So cool, this one I´ll buy for sure! F-4 Phantom - Cold war fighter from my childhood memories

Disclaimer: It seems that the engine sounds are on some scenes edited and incorrect. The later gun camera scenes are possible from allied planes...

Thank´s for the message, GenMarkof! RL always goes first and we´ll certainly retake our flight session. Etzel, Greif and me had a good time anyway! S! Bussard

Rebuilds of Bf 109´s in Canada with interesting details and explanations.

Hi Gent´s, today I learned from an German magazine about an "real premiere" of a currently completed Bf 109 G6 in the United States. Here´s the article from a November, 23rd in: Originalmotor läuft! Eine Bf 109 erwacht zum Leben | FLUG REVUE You lucky ones in the U.S.! Enjoy your new Bf 109 at the upcoming airshows!

Yeah, I feel the same way like you. The internet and it´s bells and whistles. Anyway nice video, we could be happy to see such planes, which were decades gone... It´s funny, in the 40ies and 50ies, they trashed and abused those planes and now they put it out of the sea, swamps and reconstruct it or build replicas.

This Fw 190 replica with JG1 Markings is also located at Hangar 10 in Usedom/Germany (near the baltic sea). The video what you posted is nice, but didn´t contains any new material. Don´t know why "warbirds" comes up with that stuff and present it as "first public flights". Anyway here is more material from the FW 190 for your viewing pleasure

Stumbled about an old book from Cajus Bekker (1964), which caught currently my attention. Never read in such way the story of the German Luftwaffe in WW2 in one book. The compact book counts in the German version around 400 pages. Every chapter ends in the German version with "expierences and lessons", which points what was achieved and what was missed, though tacitcal and stratgically. Book is available from the big A or elsewhere.

Very nice, Barton! Very usefull and I´ll keep it in mind, how to bounce. I kindly asking for you some practice lessons, as I want to master the bouncing too but rarely succeed. I´m also suprised how you handle your 190 before the vertical scissor. Looks for a moment that you would be loosing control by stalling and the P-38 would gain the advantage by her energy reserve.

I mapped the TrackIR centering direct into the NatrualPoint Software. I use on my Virpil Throttle the Button 32 for centering. Here´s a screenshot of my configuration. Hope that helps.

Yeah, you are right. It´s more likely that some parts of the clip - esp. the start, taxiing and take off from the G6 variant - were cut in from another fly out. Anyway, a nice watch with many details as you noticed too.

News from Hangar 10 at Usedom, Germany: Small airshow with 2 Bf 109 (re-engineered Buchon´s), 1 FW 190 (Flugwerk replica) and 1 Spitfire

...and by reaching an advanced age, it can´t neglected that an acquired beer & BBQ belly can increase the problems by using narrow pedals too!

I went the route VKB Gladiator Mk II w/ Twist Stick > CH Pro Pedals and ended up in spring this year with MFG Crosswinds Pedals. So I know the differences between non Pedals, Entry Pedals and Premium Pedals very well. In my opinion you should do yourself a favor and buy directly reliable and precise pedals like the MFG Crosswinds. They are an investment for sure, but you won´t regret it. They origin from Croatia (EU), so be aware of shipping costs and maybe US customs: MFG Crosswind flight rudder pedals - graphite color (mfg-sim.com) But at the DCS forums they are sold sometimes in used condition in the US, like here: USA only - MFG Crosswinds V2 - For Sale - ED Forums (eagle.ru)

I like memoir books from this German publisher most, some of them are out of print and sought after books. They are only in German language, but if you don´t mind you can buy directly from the publisher in new conditon (dunno if he sends overseas): Bücher – NeunundzwanzigSechs Verlag Additonally I like the whole line of books from the british historian Antony Beevor about WW2. A good, entertaining and educational read with new insights and background informations. All books are available at Amazon: Amazon.com : antony beevor Furthermore you can look at youtube for several contributions from him. Cheers Bussard
